Good morning!
Today is Independence Day.
What is independence?
It is non-enslavement, neither enslaved nor enslaving.
We are enslaved monetarily, militarily, materially, and mentally.
How can we be not enslaved?
In zazen we can be freed from enslavement in true total independence with penetrating purity and peace here and now.
Let’s make every day an Independence Day, constantly practicing and witnessing independence.
